QUASI-PERSONAL

I'm moving to Seattle in a few weeks and can't decide whether to change my phone number -- from a 612 area code to a 206 area code. NYT Styles tells me this is the existential crisis of our times, or something like that.

Similarly, there's also this little trend piece about girls taking pictures of themselves. I've asked girlfriends about this peculiar obsession, and they all claim that it's somehow liberating.

Did anyone else think that the scene in last week's Lost in which Hurley was caught with a stash of food was simply a ploy to explain that he wasn't losing weight on the island? Well, according to a Maxim interview, he has lost 30 pounds.

dude, having a seattle-area area code is the new "keep my cell phone number the same", but like with a new area code and stuff......
best during your move to the awesome west coastal region!!!

RE: Web 2.0
"Moore's Law, states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years, thus doubling the memory capacity..."
Uhhhh, he meant processing speed right? Either way, this article proves the author lacks empirical knowledge of the web - how myoptic! I believe people now consume more media (both established and citizen media). Wouldn't this make us more extrospective? So much for his argument that the web "personalizes" and we become narcissistic. I think it is the opposite.
